In this episode of Toast Sports Baseball, we dig into whether the Cubs are being overlooked as one of the best teams in baseball and if the Brewers' hot streak is more about timing than talent. We also break down the Phillies' bullpen move, the upcoming MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol, and one of the weirdest minor league promotions we’ve seen in a while — “Nothing Night.” Plus, we hit on midweek matchups, injuries shaking up contenders, fantasy league updates, and a fresh round of “Hot or Not” as the trade deadline looms.
